Samsung is almost ready to release it's latest in the series of Galaxy Note devices the Note 5.  Above is very clear shot of what seems to be a prototype in gold.  While it's not in in it's finished state you can tell a lot of things from the device as it sits.

The first thing that jumps out is all the AT&T bloatware...err I mean software extras.  This mean that it's state bound for sure and quickly.  The S-pen is still there and it looks like Samsung is sticking with the finger print scanner up front. It's keeping the weird "Apple" headphone jack at the bottom bit but it's packing any other surprises here.

Review of rumor specs:

• 5.7-inch QHD AMOLED display
• Exynos 7422 SoC
• 4GB RAM,
• 16MP camera
• 4,100mAh battery

This device should be announced inside the next three weeks....stay tuned.
